The crime of businessman Jorge De Marco (65 years old) in his home in San Isidro is still the subject of investigation.
However, his partner, criminal lawyer Susana Dascalaky, told details of what happened during the early hours of Thursday and how the man lived.
"His house was a bunker
," defined the woman, who also revealed where the criminals entered the house and the detail that allowed him to break in.
Wearing sunglasses to avoid showing her tear-filled eyes, the woman said she wants to "leave Jorge's name high."
Jorge is the businessman who was found dead and tied up on Thursday.
And he is also the one with whom he had been in a relationship for 8 years.
"The main hypothesis is that of a robbery," he endorsed the first progress of the investigation.
He said that the man was very careful and cautious: "No one entered his house that he didn't know."
He maintained that De Marco was "passionate about security" and defined the home, located in San José and Obispo Terrero, as "a bunker."
The woman explained that they had recently agreed to each live in his house and that is why she was not there with him at the time of the attack.
Asked about the brutality with which her partner was beaten, Susana responded: "Knowing Jorge, who was a shooting instructor, who went to the Federal Shooting Center every week, he wanted to defend himself and
that generated the cruelty
of these people. We are talking about a man of 1.98 and 130 kilos, who was not easy to control.

house was totally safe,
I lived there for five years. And I can tell you that I went on weekends, it was totally safe. He was a person with all kinds of precautions, he was passionate about the issue of security," he continued.

all the windows have double armored glass

It was that moment when the thieves entered.
He also said that Jorge suffered from COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) because he smoked, and that due to the heat he decided to
open one of the windows

Businessman murdered in San Isidro: they report a wave of robberies
The woman also recalled how De Marco was found dead and reported a wave of robberies in the neighborhood where the man lived, which included a similar assault in an adjacent home.
"He was a very routine Virginian, so following that routine I realized that something was happening. He didn't respond to the messages nor did they reach him either. That's why I called friends. One of them went, rang the bell and nothing. Until Another person who has the key managed to get in and it was there that they saw him lying dead," Dascalaky said.

Jorge De Marco was found dead early Thursday afternoon.
The body was in a room on the upper floor, where everything was mixed up.
The home did not have a security camera system.
